In-plant Logistics Issues and Methodologies Analysis: Case Study

Abstract

In-plant logistics, unlike other dimensions of logistics, has not been adequately analysed in the literature and practices. Internal logistics, which can be defined as material transportation movements that occur in a closed area by nature, has a high impact on cost, quality and customer satisfaction in the relevant field. Lean logistics is the logistics dimension of lean production. Since logistics activities, like production activities, are ongoing activities, the improvements to be made will have a great impact. This study is presented to both contribute to the gap in the literature and offer solutions to problems related to domestic logistics with a lean perspective. In this study, the solutions offered by a logistics company with problems related to internal logistics and the solutions offered by the author from a lean logistics perspective are included comparatively at the end of the study.
